Old and tired.

Replacements are available from the Bus Depot (www.busdepot.com),
EuroAmerican (www.deltasix.com), and Go Westy (www.gowesty.com).
I replaced mine with a new Shurflo faucet from West Marine, which I
think is a much nicer faucet.  Cheaper, too, but I had to make an
adapter plate to fit it into the original hole in the countertop.

Oh, and you probably know this already, but just in case:
"off" for the Westy faucet is in the *middle* of the knob's travel.
Turning it against the stop one way runs the pump; the other
way turns on the water from the hose hookup.
